I think it's hard sometimes for people to understand why houseplants are so important, but I have a perfect example of why I could never go back to living without them.
While I was away from my apartment for a week, I had my bedroom (where most of my plants reside) all closed up, the window was locked, the door was shut and there everything just sat for a week. When I walked in to the apartment upon my return it kind of smelled like it had been closed up for a week, a slightly stale feeling in the air that made me want to immediately open a window no matter what the weather was doing outside. But when I opened the bedroom door I got this waft of beautiful fresh air, there was nothing stale about it. It was like I just stepped outside and was in a field of grass or a meadow or something, but the point is I had fresh air in a completely closed off room. It smelled so beautiful and clean; it was truly eye opening as to what plants can really do for you.
